Standalone diagnostics on my screen?

My PowerMac G4 was booting up fine for awhile. All of the sudden, it doesn't boot up all the way, it just shows a folder with a finder and question mark icon. It runs OS 9.1 for now, someone gave it to me. I don't have OS 9 discs and my PowerBook G4 CD won't let me install X into it. What do I do?

Post a screen shot please.

[RESOLVED] Openbox (standalone) opens to grey screen w/ mouse

When I try to run openbox as a standalone as per the wiki (adding exec openbox-session to ~/.xinitrc), I simply get a grey screen with a movable mouse pointer. I can run openbox as my window manager for Xfce, but I'd like to try using it as a standalone. I can't seem to find anything on this here. I've tried moving my autostart, as well. Any ideas?

Openbox is then doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing.

Diagnostics Agent 7.11 on iSeries

I"ve gone and got the installation master DVD and the Kernel DVD but cannot find the standalone Diagnostics Agent. Following You can download Diagnostics Agent installation DVDs from SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/swdc Download SAP Support Packages Entry by Application Group SAP Technology Components SAP SOLUTION MANAGER SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 EHP1 Entry by Component Agents for Managed systems DIAGNOSTICS AGENT 7.11 <choose operating system of managed> gets me to the area but I'm not seeing it for our system.
Am I missing it or has it not been released for the iSeries yet? If not, then how is anyone else getting this installed if no agent is available?
Thanks.

Hi Ryan,
the Diagnostics Agent Installation based on SAP NetWeaver 7.1 EhP1 is supporter for OS400. Unfortunately, the standalone SMD only installation kit was not release for the OS400 platform and therefore is necessary to use the standalone option found in the SAP NetWeaver 7.1 EhP1 installation media. You can follow the 711_Diag_Agent_Setup_Guide.pdf file attached in SAP note 1234387 to find the right components needed for this install.

How to prevent full screen video in projector

I'm creating a flash presentation as a standalone Projector in full screen mode...
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
Problem is that I want to have small video players in this full screen Projector, but I DO NOT want the videos to display full screen. I want the videos to display at their preferred size. However, since the stage mode is full screen, the video automatically goes to full screen as well.
How do I prevent this?
Thanks

my_FLVPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = false
So obvious I could kick myself.

License key for a J2EE Engine standalone system

Hi,
I installed a J2EE Engine 7.0 standalone system (at first screen of installation, I selected node SAP ERP 2005 Support Release 2 to start the installation of SAP NetWeaver's software units - not software units of SAP ERP, NOT node SAP NetWeaver 2004s Support Release 2).
In http://service.sap.com/licensekey, I request a license key for my new J2EE Engine standalone system. At first page, I only see 2 installation options to select, these're corresponding to SAP ERP and SAP SOLUTION MANAGER. I select SAP ERP and at System Information page, I choose SAP product SAP NETWEAVER.
Then, I install the license key received via Visual Administrator - Server 0 - Services - Licensing Adapter. But 28 days bypass, system get down because of license expiration (not relates to the date validation).
The same thing happens when I make other license keys by choosing SAP product SAP WEB AS and SAP ERP.
Someone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks,
Toan Do

Hi Toan,
I hope you are following the procedure given in the above mentioned link (which i gave).
In the Visual Administrator choose Server 0 --> Services --> Licensing Adapter. The system data that you need to request the license from the SAP Service Marketplace appears.
¡ Installation number (if it exists)
¡ System ID,
¡ System number (if it exists)
¡ Hardware key
¡ Current release
 2. Under the Internet address service.sap.com --> mySAP Business Suite, you can get to the initial page of the license key requests in SAP Service Marketplace. Here you will find all the information you need to request license keys.
 3. Enter your e-mail address in the request. The license key will be sent to you promptly by e-mail. Alternatively, you can also download the license key from the SAP Service Marketplace.
Do not make any changes to the license key. To import the license key, the file must not have been changed.
 4. In the Licensing Adapter in the Visual Administrator choose Install License from File.
 5. Select the license file that you want from SAP.
If this doesn't solve your issue, I suggest that you post a message with SAP.
Regards,
Siddhesh

Won't boot into system (Black screen/ backlight on) - faulty logic board?

My iBook g4 12" 1.33 Ghz doesn't want to boot into the system.
1. Start computer (chime sound)
2. Apple logo on grey background appears
3. Spinning wheel below Logo appears
4. Screen flicker, big vertical zigzag appears, black screen (backlight is on)
5. Shift key work (led on/off)
6. Num Lock key works (led on/off)
7. no responses with any other keys on keyboard
What I tried so far
1. Reset PRAM & NVRAM & PMU
2. Put original installer disc in, press C start from DVD - same as above happens
3. Boot from external hard drive with operating system over Firewire - same as above happens
4. Mounted iBook drive as external drive with target mode - Other computer boots fine with iBook drive
5. Attached an external monitor, which doesn't get a signal
6. Run Hardware test over DVD - Diagnostics all fine (Screen fine all the time, running through all diagnostics)
7. Tried pressing on the graphic chip, as some forum entries suggest - didn't change anything
8. Start in Safe mode with [shift key] - no indication that in safe mode, same faults
9. Start in [single-mode] (see image http://www.somethingonline.org/dl/pb/singlemode.jpg)
Don't know what else to try
Any help appreciated

By booting off of various other drives (optical and external HD) and getting the same results, I think you are correct in assuming that something else is wrong in the hardware. You might make a call to one of the places that repairs books (like the ones in back of MacWorld) and see what they charge to diagnose and repair. But it may just be time to get a new machine. I'm in the same place myself right now; my G4 iBook seems to be on the way out.

Markus:
Run Hardware test over DVD - Diagnostics all fine (Screen fine all the time, running through all diagnostics)
Your issues seems rather strange. From the statement quoted above, am I to understand that when you boot from the Apple Hardware Test disk you are able to see the tests running on the monitor, but when you attempt booting from the install disk you cannot see anything on the monitor? If that is so, it seems rather odd that you can boot from one and not from the other.
Mounted iBook drive as external drive with target mode - Other computer boots fine with iBook drive.
When you booted in FW-TDM which computer was Target and which was host? Sounds like you were able to use the iBook as the host computer with the other as Target. Try it the other way around with the iBook in Target Mode and the other computer as Host. Then launch Disk Utility and run Repair Disk on the iBook, selecting the iBook's HDD (manufacturer's ID) in the sidebar. Post back with results. If you are able to do so download and run SMART Utility - 2.0.2 for a reading on the HDD. I am not sure if it will work with the iBook as a FW drive, but it gives more information about the HDD than Disk Utility, which only gives a Verified or Failed status.
Good luck.

Since you're able to boot into single user mode the run fsck, so at the command line type the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy <then press return>
Then try to reboot, if it still does not help try booting into Open Firmware and manually reset the PRAM, hey it's worth a try!
Power-on Mac and immediately press and hold "CommandOption+OF" keys simultaneously until the ok prompt appears. At the ok prompt type the following:
reset-nvram <then press return>
reset-all <then press return>
The reset all should reboot the Mac if all was reset ok.
Hope this helps.

Monitoring tool for standalone Timesten

Hi all,
can you recommend me a tool to monitor Standalone TimesTen (use TT as standalone Database), which has screen show report about status, statistics,... of Timesten.
I read about Oracle Enterprise Manager plugin, but it's too complex because it need OEM grid control, oracle server,...
Thanks in advance,
LeoBon

Hi LeoBon,
There are two options for Timesten
1 - OEM. I think it is the best option if you are monitoring a lot of databases. I have experience only with 11g version and It was very easy to install. I know that 12 version is quite complex, so you can still use 11 version.
2 - if you don't want to use OEM, you can use command line. It is the best option for you I think.
There is no other tool for that, I am afraid.
Best regards,
Gennady

Problem with Hardware Test on Quad G5

I have just set up my new Quad G5 and tried to run a big render task on Final Cut Pro. The task quits every time after a few minutes with no explanation.
I decided to try the Hardware Test to see if I was having memory problems with the 2 1GB modules that I had installed.
I removed everything connected to the computer except the display (20" Studio). The tests seem to load OK but as soon as the opening "Test choice" window comes up I get an error in the bottom left corner of the screen which says:
Warning! Memory leaks numMalloc before 49 numMalloc after 812
Reboot to reinitialize the heap
Standalone Diagnostics v24.1.2
So I thought there must be a memory problem, so I removed the 2 new DIMMs and tried again - same problem!
Do I have a bad test disk?

Hi everyone!
Many thanks for all the helpful suggestions. Here's where I am now.
I reset the PMU
I downloaded Hardware Monitor (and paid the $8!) and it tells me that everything is normal. For the Quad, this gidget monitors all the fan speeds (7 fans and 2 pumps), all the temperatures (i.e. of all 4 CPU's, logic board, memory controller, HDD, inlet and outlet temps, graphics chip - 11 monitors in all) and CPU voltages and currents.
All fans are running normally, all temps are normal, everything looks fine!
I also did an extensive memory test (using Memtest) to make sure that my extra 2GB did not have a problem.
So...... all I can deduce is that I have a weird error on the hardware test DVD!
I did also solve the other problem with my FCP rendering. I had been using a non-self-contained NTSC HDV movie in the timeline for my down-conversion/standards conversion to PAL SD standard. I found that if I made the movie self-contained it worked fine. I actually think that I might have had some bum references in the non-self-contained version (it makes use of a whole lot of previous render files) because I had transferred all the info from my old G4 and something was probably missing!!!
That's how this whole thing started - the file wouldn't render properly - always stopped after about 10 minutes. It is a very big render - it's a 1 hour 20 min HDV video and will take 45 hours to render on the Quad (over 3 days on the dual G4). I suspected bad memory so tried the hardware test, found the fan error .....etc, etc!
Now I know that everything is good so I can concentrate on my FCP projects.

Odd touchscreen lack of response within one app

I am aware from the forum that a number of users have had touchscreen problems but as far as I can see the touchscreen on my new Xperia Z3 Compact is working fine....most of the time.
However ... with one app that has worked well on my earlier Motorola Razr Maxx (Android 4.1.2) I am getting odd results that I do not understand. In the absence of any current response from the app developers I wonder if anyone here has any ideas what the problem may or how to fix it.
The app is Coton by Etamim Studio and it can be found at this link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.etaminstudio.coton&hl=en
It is a paid app giving a cloud (those white things in the sky not the Internet related one) identification guide with some great images. The main list screen has a vertical list of cloud names that can be scrolled down and then selected with a tap on the relevant line. Then a description of the cloud type with images should pop up. That worked fine on the Motorola but on the Xperia no clouds listed below about half way down the screen will bring up any details if tapped. So clouds shown in the list above half way will bring up the details (possibly slowly) but those in the lower half do not. I can scroll the cloud list up and down so with most I can bring them into the upper half of the screen and then access the details but the last 4/5 on the list can never be accessed in this way. I know the relevant details are there as it is possible to get to them in other ways but this is long winded and not satisfactory.
I have closed and reopened the app and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but still the problem continues.
I have run the on phone diagnostics and the screen checks out fine. I have tried a screen testing app and the touch screen seems to work over all its area for both swipe and touch. The phone's keyboard which appears in the lower half of the screen seems fine. So as far as I can see there is no obvious hardware fault and similarly no obvious software fault with the phone but I cannot work out why the app should work on one phone and not on another.
I normally have a case on the phone but the problem continues even if I remove it. There is a screen protector fitted which is the one supplied loose in the box (not the one that is on the phone when it arrives and has a pull tag at top right) however the tests referred to above have all been conducted after the screen protector was fitted so that should not be an issue.
I know this is an odd one and so will be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Contact the app developer regarding this issue.

Apple TV stuck in Recovery Menu

My Apple TV had been working in an almost perfect fashion for almost six months with the exception that I could only stream content from my iTunes library and couldn;t sync content with the exception of photos. I proceeded to Restore to Factory Settings and since then I've been stuck in the Apple TV Recovery Menu.
I've searched the forum endlessly for other posts and I could only find one directing me to the following instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1560
I performed all the steps in that link (detailed below) and I'm still stuck in the Apple TV Recovery Menu.
Has anyone run into the similar issues? Any ideas on how to fix this will be GREATLY appreciated.
1. Hold down the Menu and Menu down/scroll buttons on the remote for approximately 3 to 5 seconds, until the LED on Apple TV flashes yellow. (OK I DID THIS)
2. After Apple TV restarts, a screen appears asking you to pick a language. Select the language you wish to use. (OK I CHOOSE ENGLISH)
3. The Apple TV Recovery screen appears with 3 selections:
* Restart
* Run Diagnostics
* Factory Restore
If the Apple TV intro movie plays instead, repeat the first step. (OK THIS FAR)
4. Select Run Diagnostics. The screen displays "Running diagnostics" and a spinning disc cursor appears. (OK THIS FAR)
5. Upon successful completion of the diagnostics, the screen displays "Your Apple TV is working correctly." Select Done to return to the Apple TV Recovery screen and then select Restart to return your Apple TV to normal operation. (I GET A WORKING CORRECTLY MESSAGE AND THEN RETURN TO THE RECOVERY SCREEN AND SELECT RESTART BUT INSTEAD OF APPLE TV GOING INTO NORMAL OPERATION I GET THROWN BACK TO THE "CHOOSE LANGUAGE" SCREEN AND THEN "CHOOSE RESOLUTION" AND THEN BACK TO THE APPLE TV RECOVERY MENU
6. If the Apple TV Recovery screen reappears, unplug the power cable from your Apple TV and plug it back in. Your Apple TV should restart normally. (I TRIED THIS BUT I END UP IN THE SAME SPOT AS BEOFRE UNPLUGGING)

I too am having this problem. I've got a ton of stuff synched to it, including some rented videos, and dread having to reload it, but I eventually tried the restore option. It gave me an error and refused to to that.
For the past two weeks I've been having more and more problems with the unit. Each time I run the diagnostics it says there is nothing wrong.
I've made an appointment with an Apple genius tomorrow to try to get some answers.

IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process.
I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.
